Christians denounce anti-Islam film

Christians in Kano yesterday denounced the anti-Islam film which has sparked protests in the Arab world.

Bishop Ransom Bello, the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said the film should be condemned by all lovers of peace and true Christians all over the world.

Bello emphasised that any action capable of desecrating any religion should not be tolerated.

He said: “We, as Christians, don’t support such recklessness and intentional mischief to promote religious conflict. We should rather emphasise on issues that promote peace and stabilise our system.”

He appealed for calm, saying: “We want to appeal to our Muslim brothers to understand that Christians are not involved in this and will continue to condemn any act that is capable of undermining other peoples’ faith.”
